Amica auto insurance

Amica offers the standard menu of auto insurance coverage, though its policies come with some attractive built-in perks, including:

Depreciation won’t be taken into account if your car is totaled within the first year of ownership (not available in all states)

No deductible for lock replacement if you lose your keys or they’re stolen

No deductible for repair or replacement of an air bag after it deploys

Total reimbursement for lost earnings if you go to court at Amica’s request

With Platinum Choice Auto, you can choose one or all of the following to add to your policy for a cost:

Advantage rewards: You earn points for good driving, time with the company, referring new customers or adding other policies. You can use the points for accident forgiveness, preventing a price increase if you get in an accident, or to pay down or eliminate the deductible.

Identity fraud monitoring: The service provides 24/7 monitoring at the three major credit bureaus and access to a fraud specialist if your identity is stolen.

Full glass coverage: You pay no deductible for glass repairs.

Prestige rental coverage: You get up to $5,000 toward the rental of a comparable car if yours is stolen or in an accident.

Amica homeowner insurance

The company offers standard home insurance that includes a little something extra: Credit card coverage, so you can get reimbursed for unauthorized use of your accounts.

Home Repair Assistance Program: Amica partners with Contractor Connection, a national network of 2,000 licensed and insured contractors. Your claims process will be hassle-free and the professionals can be on the scene within hours of an emergency, Amica says.

Amica’s Platinum Choice policy includes:

Additional coverage for liability and medical payments, business property and theft of valuables

Replacement cost reimbursement for damaged or stolen items, rather than the depreciated value

Amica life insurance

Level term life is available for 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 year terms. The price stays the same throughout the term, and you can buy from $100,000 to more than $1 million of coverage.

Annual renewable term will cover you up to age 85 as long as you pay your premiums. The price goes up each year as you age.

NerdWallet’s star ratings are based on the following three factors, each weighted equally to produce a 300-point maximum total score:

2017 consumer complaints data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The median complaint ratio for the industry is 1. Lower ratios are better. Insurers whose median complaint ratios were more than 1 received fewer points; those lower than 1 received more points.

2017 company satisfaction data from the Consumer Reports Winter Survey. Higher satisfactions ratings from Consumer Reports were given higher scores in our calculation.

2017 J.D. Power ratings from three studies encompassing regional customer service satisfaction, auto claims satisfaction and shopping satisfaction. Ratings from each of the separate 2017 studies were averaged to form one overall score from J.D. Power. The higher the average, the more points the insurer scored in our calculation.

Only larger insurers with data available in all three of these categories were included. Smaller insurers not listed here may also be good choices and are worth consideration.
